Maximising Fuel Economy With The Use Of Headers

Image
Restless see-saw reasoning accompanies aftermarket modifications. One exhaust can extend performance and add throaty noise to the profile of the vehicle, but the change hamstrings fuel economy. A dizzying back and forth ensues as street performance or off-road aptitude is balanced against petrol mileage. Custom headers aid in this scenario by coming down firmly on the engine optimization side of the see-saw. The kit, as we all know, delivers instant aesthetic appeal, a chrome-plated, titanium coated killer look, but function has to match this aggressive profile or the owner only ends up with a better looking stock exhaust replacement . To really maximize fuel economy, performance headers are manufactured to a shape and size that improves engine “breathing.” A Brief Anatomy of Internal Combustion Breathing Miniature explosions drive engines, but spent fuel has to move away from the combustion area in order for the next burn cycle to occur. If this discharge routine didn’t happen, then ...

What Are Ceramic Coated Headers?

Image
  There’s a well-known anecdote used in engineering, a fact-based narrative that talks of how the aerospace industry is the source of many of our current products. Time-proven by rocket scientists, ceramic coated headers represent a key technological development, one that was born in space-age rocket research, and one that transfers its benefits from these rocket components to our enthusiast exhaust system market, pushing performance figures to new limits. What are Exhaust Headers? Regular vehicles arrive fresh from the factory with standardized parts, components that don’t exactly set performance charts on fire. The engine and exhaust are efficient and road worthy but won’t set any land speed records or generate a grunt of noisy power. Exhaust headers are bolt on pipes, large-diameter tubes that are bent, shaped and mounted as an engine manifold replacement. The effect of this aftermarket addition is improved engine airflow and optimized engine performance through a dramatic re...

What is a Cat-Back Exhaust System?

Image
  Are you shopping for a performance exhaust system for your ‘special’ car or truck? If you are, you’re not alone in having to comb through countless exhaust deals online, and then reading all of their specifications.

There are different types of these exhausts – cat back exhausts, basically, it refers to a section of your vehicle’s exhaust system – the section running from the catalytic converter to the tip ...

Exhaust System Cleaning: How it Can Help Boost Engine Performance

Image
If your financial situation is rocky this month, you probably think your vehicle’s performance credentials aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Hit the brakes on that thought, for there’s a way to boost engine performance without buying a new exhaust kit . We’re talking about exhaust system cleaning , a procedure that purges hydrocarbon leftovers and other pipe-fused pollutants so that the exhaust gases produced by your car engine can move unimpeded. Beware of Carbon Deposits An underappreciated exhaust system has to deal with the same waste that it’s removing from the discharge rushing out of the vehicle’s pipe tips. Certainly, most of this gaseous load is catalysed, broken down until it’s transformed into oxygen and nitrogen. However, the fuel is loaded with hydrocarbons, which means carbon particulates are also passengers in the exhaust stream. That sooty stuff, even in tiny quantities, tends to coat the inner surfaces of your pipework in ashy carbon. Sparks Performanc...
